iwlwifi: dvm: fix calling ieee80211_chswitch_done() with NULL

commit 9186a1fd9ed190739423db84bc344d258ef3e3d7 upstream.

If channel switch is pending and we remove interface we can
crash like showed below due to passing NULL vif to mac80211:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffff8cc

 [<ffffffffa0459b3d>] ieee80211_do_stop+0x29d/0x7f0 [mac80211]

This is because we nulify ctx->vif in iwlagn_mac_remove_interface()
before calling some other functions that teardown interface. To fix
just check ctx->vif on iwl_chswitch_done(). We should not call
ieee80211_chswitch_done() as channel switch works were already canceled
by mac80211 in ieee80211_do_stop() -> ieee80211_mgd_stop().
